Technology trauma

What is wrong with these women? It's never ending. They allow themselves to be photographed naked and in all sorts of compromising positions, then scream blue murder when a "boyfriend" betrays them which is often the case.

Thankfully smart phones weren't around when I was young. Private moments were just that and men had to rely on their memories - which weren't always accurate either, but easier to dispute than a photograph.

THEY thought their intimate photos would remain private.

That no one other than their significant other would ever see.

But now, through no fault of their own, those private images are on display - and the callous people responsible for posting these pictures think they are fair game.

Nude and revealing photographs of more than 400 Adelaide women and teenagers - some of whom are allegedly under the age of consent - have appeared on a US website, The Adelaide Advertiser reported.

The newspaper chose not to name the site but explained it was contacted by women claiming their photographs were not only being shown without their permission but were also being offered up for downloading.

Sounds like IQ.

It is understood some of the victims were alerted to the site via Facebook and other social media.

One confronted the user and demanded her photos be taken down, The Advertiser reported.

This is what she received as a reply: “F--- off you autistic whore ... you cannot do anything to stop us.”

Another victim accused the site of promoting child pornography which prompted this response; “Trying to use imaginary child pornography to further your own ends is absolutely disgusting, if it worked on some other sites it certainly will not work here,” the moderator wrote.

“Small breasts do not count as child pornography — though from the photos I can see none of you suffer that problem.

“(This site) is hosted in the United States, not Australia ... the United States, for its part, still has some freedom left.”

The moderator told the women they should approach “the owners” of the photos and seek their deletion, “instead of drivelling nonsense about how 25-year-old women are 11”.

My christian upbringing taught me modesty, temperance and conservatism.
I find it surprising that women willingly pose for these nude photos, and even upload them to their social media sites.
And then they get upset if their mobile phone is stolen, lost or their social media site gets hacked.

Here's a tip girls: DON"T POSE FOR NAKED PHOTOS - then no naked photos can be taken and you won't get upset

Some of the wildest girls I knew were good Christian girls. It doesn't matter whether a girl is good or bad - many of them do things they were taught not to to keep a male happy - and of course live to regret it later.

Great advice - pity it's not heeded.

I think we need to see the pictures to make a valid judgement.

Then again, they are Adelaide girls which means its highly likely that Ausgurl's rotten box would be on display... There isnt enough steel wool available to scrub that horrid image from my brain.

Why are underage girls putting nude pics up out there to begin with? Stupid.

Their Mothers obviously haven't warned them about such behaviour ... or have done and have been ignored. Kids live for t-o-d-a-y with no thought about what tomorrow brings. Kids as young as 8-10 have a mobile phone, they take them to school and text friends constantly. Yet parents drop off and pick up kids from school. There are "strangers" on the Net too, they don't just drive cars looking for kids walking home (or catching the bus) from school.

Is it even possible to get a mobile phone without a camera these days? Could be a good idea for young-uns.

Have you, too, noticed that the "selfies" taken by girls, aged anything from about 12 to 20 all look much the same? Hair colour might be slightly different but "smile", "nose" and "eyes" look the same to me*. What happened to being individual?



*Now that I want to display several piccies, can't find them.

Are you talking about the duckface, where they pout their lips?



I don't have much to do with social media though, so don't get it inflicted on me too often.
